TMC10 Microwave frequency control module

TMC10 Microwave frequency control module

National Defense Recommendation, Ultra High Stability Phase Locked Crystal Oscillator quote

Overview

The TMC10 microwave frequency control module features scanning capability, FSK modulation functionality, and serial port control. It internally generates a 100MHz signal by multiplying an external reference 10MHz signal and provides an output interface for external use. The isolation between the external and internal 100MHz signals is greater than or equal to 90dB. The module includes a power control port, allowing users to apply modulation signals with a frequency deviation of up to 100Hz. It also offers manual frequency offset adjustment within a range of center frequency minus 4Hz to center frequency plus 4Hz, with a step size of 0.9mHz, which can be set via the serial port.
 

Key Features

- Low phase noise addition without compromising stability
- FSK modulation and serial port control functionality
- High stability and high resolution
